The lilac stood close to Elizabeth’s window, All purple with bloom, while the little maid spun. Her stint was a long one, and she was a-weary And moaned that she never could getitdone. But a wind stirred the lilac blossoms. And a wonderful sweetness came floating in, And Elizabeth felt, though she could not have said it, That a friend had come to her to help her spin. And after that she kept on at her spinning Gay as a bird, for the wbrld had begun To seem such a pleasant, good place fotlrorkr ing That she was amazed when her etint Waa done. / And the pale browed little New England maM> en Outside her lessons had learned that day That the sweetness around us will sweeten labor If we will but leVit have Its way. —Mary E.

DiSKEGARBTIIEDRDER. ■I ” ■ ’ ’ **' J t Knights of Labor Fail to Come Out on •' a Strike. PREDICTION BY SOVEREIGN. He Bays That by Saturday Fully l.oeo,000 Men Will Quit Work, Alter the Various Assemblies Meet and Take Action—Train Ditched In California and Three Men Meet Death. Chicago, July 13.—The ultimate effect of the appeal issued by Grand Master Sovereign of the Knights of Labor calling on all knights throughout the country and those in sympathy*with them to quit work, and the order issued at about the same time by the representatives of allied labor in Chicago to do likewise cannot yet be certainly foreseen. All that is now definitely known is that th» Knights of Labor at all points heard from, including nearly all of the large centers ofpopulation in the United States, remained at work yesterday with practical unanimity and that, in this city, the number of members of the allied trades wluch remained at work so far outnumbered those who quit as to make no appreciable change in the industrial apjtearaHce of the city. The leaders, however,* say that there is notning in the situation to cause them discouragement; that the public through lack of knowledge of the machinery of industrial organization has been led to expect results which were not in contemplationXvhen the strike orders were issued. Has No I’itwir to Order a Strike. Mr. Sovereign, for instance, points out that his appeal was not an order to strike—that, in fact, he has no power to order a walkout, but that persens acquainted with the working of the organization would know that in effect it would be the same as an order. In was perfectly confident that by Saturday next, after the various local and district assemblies had time to meet 'and take formal action on the appeal and to rally their friends outside the order, the result would show 1,000,000 men idle as a consequence. Surface indications so far, however, do not bear but the claims of Mr. Sovereign. It is tnot recorded yet that any district assembly of the Knights of Labor hasvoted ’to strike. On the other hand the Brooklyn district, which is composed of railroad men and therefore naturally in sympathy with their fellows in the west, at a meeting confined their expression of sympathy to a tender of financial aid, but declined to strike. All Eyes on Gompers. The general public as well as organized labor is looking forward with marked interest to the meeting of the executive board of the American Federation of Labor, perhaps the most powerful organization of the kind jn .the country, in thiff city, and its action is expected to have a marked effect on the outcome of the present industrial struggle. It is known that the position of Samuel Gompers, its president, has been one of opposition to a sympathetic strike of federation men at this time, and that he looks on the existing situation as critical. He has invited the heads of other labor organizations to meet him here, and the belief is that he will strenuously v advocate measure to bring the trouble to an enfj, The great railway strike is practically at an end in Chicago. Trains on all roads are moving, passenger trains lare almost withdht exception on time and freight traffic is rapidly becoming regular. . L. W. Rogers, editor of The Railway Times, and one of the men indicted bj\ the federal grand jury said he though? the proceedings of the past 24 hours would tend to solidify labor. The seizure of Deb’ private papers was an outrage, he said. Conference Proves Futile.

Mayor Hopkins, Mayor Pingree of Detroit and E. M. Phelps of Chicago had a two-hour conference last evening with Wickes, General Solicitor Runnells and General Manager Browne of the Pullman company at Mr. Wickes’ office. Mayor Pingree’s telegtams urging arbitration were presented and arbitration was strongly urged. The conference was held behind closed doors, Pullman officials promising to give a verbatim report of it to the newspapers. The report as given out by them follows: ••Mayor Pingree of Detroit accompanied by Mayor Hopkins and Mr. Erskine M. Phelps of Chicago called at the Pullman offices and submitted to the officials of the Pullmari company the telegram Mayor Pingree had received from the mayors of other cities upon the question of arbitration.” Thereupon followed a protracted friendly discussion of the matter in which the officers of the Pullman company set ont fully their reasons for believing that the question at issue, which was simply the reopening of the works and carrying them on at a ruinous loss, was not the proper subject for arbitration. Mayor Hopkins after the conference would only says "We are just where we were before we went. Let them to do the talking.” Private Downing of the Second regiment, I. N. G., became involved in a difficulty with Patrick O’Connor, a laborer, last night and shot him through the head, killing him. 4 Will Not Notice It. Providence, July 12.—1 t has been definitely settled that the Rhode Island Knights of Labor will take no notice of Sovereign’s order.

The train was due here at 4:30 o’clock, but did not arrive until 10:80 last night on account of burned trestles. WANT TO IMFKAVH OLNEY. Memorial to Be Prenented to CongreM by the Knight, of Labor. Philadelphia, July 13.—A memorial asking for the impeachment of Attorney General Olney has been prepared for the executive board of the Knights of Labor to be presented to congress. It will be circulated all over the country for signatures. The memorial declares that Richard Olney has been guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, subjecting him to impeachment and removal from di ATTORNEY GENEKAL OLNEY, office. The alleged crimes consist in his advice to the president to introduce i federal troops into Illinois and other i states when they had not been asked for i by the state authorities and in fact i against the earnest protest of certain 1 governors. As a result of this advice i United States soldiers have fired upon I and killed citizens of several states without hiwfyl or sufficient cause. Mr. Olney j is charged witlf encouraging the Pull-1 man company in the stand it has taken I against arbitration, in disregard of the j sentiment expressed in the arbitration i act of 1888.

Hammond, Ind., July 12.—Yesterday afternoon when a Lake Shore suburban train reached Whiting, just over the Indiana state line, a mob from Hammond surrounded the train, and seizing Brakeman Frankley beat him into insensibility before he could be rescued by a detachlinent of regulars who charged upon and scattered the mob. Interstate suburban trains will hereafter carry a military guard until matters quiet down. Engine Derailed, Terre Haute, Ind., July 12.—The first violation of the law in this city since the strike began occurred yesterday. The Evansville and Terre Haute passenger train struck an open switch at Tenth and Main streets and the engine was derailed, a rock having been driven into the frog so that the switch could not be set. A number of hoodlums stoned coal handlers in the Chicago and Eastern Illinois coaldumps. One man was injured. Warned to Be Neutral.
